Application steps

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

  • The substrate must be clean, dry, sound, absorbent and homogeneous, free from oils, grease, dust and loose or friable particles. Paint, cement laitance, prior adhesives, floorcoverings, and other poorly adhering contaminants must be removed.
  • All surfaces must be prepared in accordance AS1884 Floor Coverings - Resilient sheet & tiles - installation practice.
  • Prime highly absorbent substrate with Sikafloor® -01 Primer prior to application of SikaBond®-204 Protect Adhesive. If a moisture barrier is required, use Sikafloor®-158W Fast Barrier.
  • Defective subfloors shall be treated by taking appropriate measures e.g. grinding, milling, vacuuming, priming or self-levelling.
  • Mastic asphalt and other non-absorbent subfloors as well as rubber floor coverings may require specific self-levelling compound layer thicknesses. For appropriate layer thicknesses refer to the relevant valid data sheets.
  • Concrete and/or cement screeds must be ground and thoroughly cleaned with an industrial vacuum.
  • When installing floor covering with underfloor heating, existing measuring points have to be checked regarding the moisture content of the subfloor.

CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT

Clean all tools and application equipment immediately after use with Sika® Remover-208. Once cured, hardened material can only be removed mechanically. For cleaning skin use Sika® Cleaning Wipes.
